Village Projects

This is a re-built sea wall on Manono Island. This is just one section, but their now completed project extends for a couple miles. The people worked really hard.

This last week was very productive as we were busy going to and from the nine village projects, which pretty much span the entire island (it takes five hours to drive around the whole island). We finished up the two projects in Manano, and they look really good. One village says they are going to carry on the project for another two weeks, even though SPBD won't be paying them for it. They are extremely grateful to the organization. All of the other two-week projects end this friday, and then I think we'll be starting three more next week.

Random pretty people in Salani. We tried to get the little kid to look for seriously ten pictures but he wouldn't.. oh well.

Work team in Utulailai. They enjoyed the camera and the goofy yellow work gloves we got them.

Some workers in Lalumano. The one the right is a tranny, and they are everywhere here. Supposedly it's a big part of the Samoan culture.

Big strong Samoan women. They are the project leaders in Lalumano.

Some girls walking home from school in Ulutogia. All schools here wear these uniforms.

This is a part of Salani that was cleaned by one of the projects. Before the project, this area was filled with debris. It looks a LOT better.
